A Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus MicroRNA and Its Variants Target the Transforming Growth Factor β Pathway To Promote Cell Survival
23 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling regulates cell growth and survival. Dysregulation of the TGF-β pathway is common in viral infection and cancer. Latent infection by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is required for the development of several AIDS-related malignancies, including Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). KSHV encodes more than two dozen microRNAs (miRs)...
